The Deaf Hear.
Rutland (vt) Review, Sept. 10, 1885

Rutland (Vt.) Review, Sept. 10, 1885
Of the hundreds of cases successfully treated
by Drs. Severance & Royce during their stay here
our personal attention has been directed to a mum
Der; but perhaps none of them is more wonderful
than that of the twelve-years old daughter of Mrs
Ellen Davis of North Chester, VT From early in
fancy this child has been very delicate, and was
long sufferer from catarrh OF very distressing
and obstinate nature, causing at times enlarge
ment of the tonsils TO that degree that it with
difficulty she could swallow solid food. The child
has always been deaf-in later years it being al
most impossible to make her hear an thing. The
child was put under treatment from Drs. Sever
ance 81 Royce, not, however, until physicians had
expressed the opinion that there no help for
her. From private letter from Mrs. Davis we
quote follows:
Last May my attention called to the ad-
vertisement of Drs. Severance & Royce, and de-
term1ned to make one more effort, having, howev-
er, little faith that she would receive any benefit
The result is truly astonishing. She is now a
healthy Child, can bear exposure to all kinds OF
weather, aud is entirely cured of her deafness.
Every one who sees her remarks on her improved
appearance, and regards it simply wonderful
that such change should take place in short a
time would advise all who are similarly afflict-
ed to consult these physicians without delay"
This case is more remarkable in that the child
was deaf almost from birth, and it more a con-
stitutiOnal difficulty than local. Drs. Severance
a. Royce have had remarkable success in the
treatment of deafness, and they have in all chronic
elections; and SO long as they here all suffer
ers should take advantage of the visit and consu II
them.

A Wonderfully. Successful Treatment

In the history of medical science, there is no
physician who has done more for the alienation of
human suffering and the of disease than DR.
Royce. Receiving his thorough medical education
at the best medical colleges in the land, he early
became convinced that the mode of treating disease
by means of poisonous drugs always resulted in
injury to the system. He therefore turned his
study and investigation to the harmless vegetable
remedies in the laboratory of NATURE. After
graduating and receiving his medical diplomas he
further pushed his Investigations insthe treatment
of diseases, by vegetable remedies, twice visiting
the hospitals of Europe in order to prosecute his
research among the methods of treatment in the
OLD WORLD.
Life being too short for physician to learn all
there is in the vast science of medicine he has
made the study and investigation of the treatment
of one class of disease-he of chronic or long
standing COMPLAINTS life work and the result
is certainly marvellous. Vegetable remedies were
discovered for different diseases, which were won
derful in their effects. Thousands of cases of
chronic diseases given up incurable by other
physicians, were restored to sound and perfect
health under the use of these

Beaten at His Own Game.
Rnsfon HernId

Recently young physician of the
Harvard medical school conceived the
idea of playing "a joke on Miss Annie
Copeland, one of the lady students of
the college of physicians and surgeons,
and at the same time rubbing out an
old score he had laid up against her.
His plans were carefully mapped out,
and everything being in readiness, the
lady was called upon to attend case
of fracture of the leg. Somewhat
astonished, she promptly answered
the summons of suffering humanity,
confident in her ability to sustain the
dignity of the profession she had
adopted. On arriving at the residence
indicated, she was surprised to find
her patient to be IA man about 40 years
old, apparently suffering the most ex-
cruciating pains. Moving the cover
ing, she discovered the fracture to be
that of a wooden leg. Nothing daunt-
ed, and without showing any evidence
of her discovery, she quietly replaced
the covering, said she must go for
some splints and bandages, aud would
return Immediately. She did SO,

A Case of Spinal Disease Cured.

MRS CELIA GossKLIN, who resides on Centr,
street. was for two years afflicted with spinal dis
ease, and was unable to do any thing much of the
the two years of her illness she constantly EN-
plOyed physicians, but one and all pronounced heI
case incurable. She reduced in flesh almost
to skeleton, and was hopeless and discouraged.
1t was in this condition that she called on DIR
Royce to consult with him, and after being treated
by him two months she is able to do her own work
and is robust and healthy She has gained greatly
in flesh, and is, far her former complaint is
concerned, perfectly cured. She called and
stated the above facts, which we corroborated BY
inquiry into the case, and wished to publicly
acknowledge her gratitude TO this physician for the
ready published her recommend of DIR. ROyce's
methods and treatment to other afflicted ones DIR
Royce informs us that the of Mrs. GOsseIiI
was very promising one. and when he first began
did not promise her cure, but thought he could
relieve her in considerable degree. The success
which attended her treatment is therefore no less
gratifying to him than to thel patient.-[ Rutland

The PrOOf-Reader.
The Printing Press.


The proof-reader has long shared
with the "intelligent compOsitOr" the
reputation for that total depravity
which has made a writer say 'see the
pale martyr with shirt on fire." when
he wrote Sin sheet of fire." and to ask
sis there no barn in GuilfOrd," when
he meant sis there no balm in Gilead;"
to speak of his love of "alum water"
when he wrote "Alma Mater" and to
speak of "a mysterious dispensatiOn
of Providence" as ga mysterious disap-
pearance of provisions" The silence
of the prOOf-reader has been taken
either as evidence of his guilt or that
he was proof against reprOOfs. He
has borne cOntumely long enough, and
he rises to ''hurl back" the charges
and to Email lies to the counter" and
to "thrust the base falsehOOds down
the throat of his cOwardly vitupera-
tor" as the contributors to the popular
periodical, the congressional Record,
are in the habit of saying. The worm
has turned ut last, and II rather lively
turn it is. He expresses his wonder
that nothing has ever been said in
praise of prOOf-readers. Of course,
this might surprise prOOf-reader, but
any experienced writer for the press
will not be astOnished at it at all. The
writer will know that he has time and
time again written the most glowing
eulOgies of prOOf-readers and their as
sistants-tributes that statesmen might
envy and good men crave. But the
the proof-reader has never allowed
them to appear in print. Where the
writer has said that the proof reader
was ''benefactor to his race it has
appeared Gas benighted scapegrace;"
when he has called him the ''salt of
the earth," it comes to the surface as
''seum of the earth )" when he has
spoken of the cease and comfort" a
good proof-reader gives him, he is
made to say an Escaped convict" and
when he has referred to the proof
readers ''saintly grace" tue public
first learns of it as a "sEake in the
grass" That is why nothing has ever
appeared in print in praise of the
proof reader. The protesting proof
reader is not willing to believe that
every one of his species is "full OF
malice toward authors and hates the
whole world" And then the man act
ually goes OH to speak a good word
for himself and his kind. At this rate
the barber will be defending his talk
ing; the mOther-in-law will clamOr
for a hearing; the plumber will be
piping up in his own behalf the Chi
nese laundryman claiming a right to
live clearly and honest life, and tur-
keys speak their minds about Thanks

Remarkable Discoveries in
Medicine.
A Certain Cure for all Forms of
Chronic Diseases.

Health and disease physical conditions upon
which depend pleasure pain, contentment OF
unhappiness, success or failure. Health is essen.
tial to the accomplishment of every purpose, while
sickness thwarts the best intentions and loftiest
aims; hence people cannot afford to be sick. The
human being is the browning work of the Creator
and when this complicated structure so exquisite
ly wrought, is disturbed by disease. the most suf
ficient aid should be sought from the most skilled
physician, for the human body is too precious to be
neglected.
No physician can be equally skilled in all forms
of disease, and no one in the common, every day
practice of medicine can possibly compound the
necessary remedial agents to chronic lnger-
ing diseases. Dr. E. W. Royce of Boston, now at
the Avenue house. St. Johnsbury, Vt, has met a
public need and is great benefactor to the sick.
His means are ample, and his resources so
abundant, that he is enabled, in almost all cases
of chronic diseases to effects perfect and complete
cure by means of HARMLESS VEGETA BILE
REMEDIES.
